I noticed that one of my female demasoni was starting to get fat. My first thought was that she was coming down with bloat. A couple of days went by and I starting noticing that her vent was starting to swell. I was totally freaking out at this point, so I called a friend of mine who also raises demasoni. He really didn't know what was going on and also thought that it might be bloat. Now today my female demasoni spawned with one of my males. Now the belly is thinner and the swollan vent is now gone.
I thought that was pretty interesting and I was quite releaved.
As a coincidence, while feeding my Mainganos last night I noticed one of my claimed females who has yet to spawn, looked the exact same way with swolen belly and enlarged vent....
